100% vanilla JavaScript + Canvas, zero dependencies, no build step.
|
||
|
||
**▶ Play: http://127.0.0.1:8020**

|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
### 🎢 Park Building (the RCT heart)
|
||
- Isometric canvas world (up to 64×64 tiles), pan / zoom / minimap
|
||
- **Path network** with guest pathfinding (BFS), pavement & cobblestone
|
||
- **10 prebuilt rides** — Unicorn Carousel, Sky Wheel, Gravity Spire drop tower,
|
||
Fairy Swings, Haunted Crypt, River Sprite Flume, Dragonling Coaster,
|
||
Portal Blasters, Broomstick Tower… all procedurally animated
|
||
- **7 shops** with stock, pricing and needs-driven demand (food / drink / toilets!)
|
||
- **16 scenery items** with beauty auras, lighting and mana properties
|
||
- Terrain painting (grass / sand / rock / water) and bulldozer with refunds
|
||
|
||
### 🎢 Custom Coaster Designer
|
||
- Place a station next to a path, then lay pieces: straights, curves, slopes,
|
||
steep drops and **loops** — chain lifts are automatic
|
||
- Real-ish physics: energy conservation with friction → max speed, airtime,
|
||
drops, inversions feed **Excitement / Intensity / Nausea ratings**
|
||
- Track must form a closed circuit back to the station; live stats while building
|
||
- **On-ride POV camera**: ride your own coaster first-person with speed lines, loops & day/night skies
|
||
|
||
### 🧑🤝🧑 Guest Simulation
|
||
- Individual guests with name, cash, thrill-preference, color
|
||
- Needs AI: hunger, thirst, bladder, energy → they seek shops, benches, rides & exits
|
||
- Thought bubbles, happiness dynamics, littering & vomit, fleeing from monsters
|
||
|
||
### 🧑💼 Staff
|
||
Handymen (clean), Mechanics (repair breakdowns), Guards (deter vandalism),
|
||
Court Jesters (entertain queues). Monthly wages & ride running costs.
|
||
|
||
### ⚔️ Heroes & Monster Invasions
|
||
- Build the **Heroes Guild**, recruit Knights, Rangers, Battle Mages, Clerics, Paladins
|
||
- Monsters (slimes, goblins, dire wolves, troll brutes, Void Wraith bosses) invade
|
||
on a schedule; heroes auto-engage with melee/ranged/AoE/healer roles
|
||
- XP, level-ups, gear tiers, revive timers, loot gold, damage numbers
|
||
|
||
### ✨ Magic System
|
||
- Mana pool that grows with Ley Pools, Rune Stones & Glowcap scenery
|
||
- 8 spells: Sunburst, Joy Aura, Healing Light, Fortune Rain, Artificer's Haste
|
||
(instant half-price building), Monster Bane, Warding Sigil, Transmutation
|
||
|
||
### 🔬 Progression & Economy
|
||
- Research lab: spend RP across 4 tracks to unlock rides, shops, spells, hero classes
|
||
- Full finance: monthly close, wages, loans & interest, marketing campaigns
|
||
- Park rating (0–999) from rides/happiness/cleanliness/beauty/facilities/safety
|
||
- Quarterly awards, objectives per scenario, win/lose flow
|
||
|
||
### 🌦️ World
|
||
Day/night cycle with lamp glows · weather (sunny/cloudy/rain/storm) affecting
|
||
attendance & mood · procedural WebAudio SFX + generative ambient music.
|
||
|
||
### 💾 Quality of life
|
||
3 save slots + monthly autosave (localStorage), JSON export/import,
|
||
pause & 3 speeds, keyboard shortcuts, tooltips, tutorial/help dialog.
|
||
|
||
## Scenarios
|
||
| Scenario | Difficulty | Hook |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Enchanted Meadows | Easy | Learn the ropes by a sleepy lake |
|
||
| Dragonspine Pass | Medium | Rocky pass, early & frequent invasions |
|
||
| Void Rift Crisis | Hard | Boss wraiths, aggressive schedule |
|
||
| Sandbox Kingdom | Sandbox | $1M, everything unlocked |
|
||
|
||
## Run it
|
||
|
||
Any static file server works:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd rollercoaster
|
||
python3 -m http.server 8020
|
||
# open http://127.0.0.1:8020
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Or run the headless test-suite (no browser needed):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
node tests/smoke.mjs # 13 integration tests over the full simulation
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Tech notes
|
||
- Pure ES modules, Canvas 2D, WebAudio — no frameworks, no assets, ~6k LOC
|
||
- Deterministic seeded map generation (Mulberry32), serializable RNG
|
||
- Fixed-timestep simulation decoupled from rendering; entity caps keep 60 fps
|
